Patsy, Jean Faye and family,
Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you in the death of your dear Mom. She was a great lady whom I admired so much for how she was able to start a career and begin an entirely different life after J.B.'s death. I spent many memorable nights with you all when Patsy and I was in high school and your Mom was always so gracious to us even though many times I am sure she would have liked to taken us down a notch or two! Cherish the precious memories...
